Squirrels 4, Brewins 2

Posted on by

The Squirrels got back to their winning ways with a solid, if unspectacular 4-2 win against a Brewins squad that came into the game with only a 4-12-0 record but winners of 2 straight.

The Brewins opened the game’s scoring when Chris Olson managed to bank a lose puck from behind the net, off the back of Coulson’s leg before he could recover to hug the post, and into the net. However, the Squirrels would answer only a minute later when Bob Valdes scored an unassisted goal on a beautiful rush into the zone and with a pinpoint wrist shot to beat Brewins goalie McNeil blocker side. The period ended with a 2-1 Squirrels lead thanks to a beautifully ugly goal by the team’s leading goal scorer, Brent Machado. Ben Sumner won a faceoff just outside of the offensive zone, gathered his win and threw a good wrist shot at McNeil. The rebound kicked out to a charging Machado and he gathered the loose puck, waited a split second for McNeil to commit, then buried the puck. Ugly goals are a thing of beauty!!

The Brewins would tie the score at 2 with a quick goal only :50 seconds into the 2nd period. Two Brewins were left alone down low. A shot from high in the zone was deflected off the post by a lone Brewin standing to Coulson’s left. The puck caromed off the post and rolled along the goal line to come to rest on the other post. Coulson, being down and out as a result of the initial shot and deflection, was unable to scramble across to swipe at or cover the loose puck and it was eventually tapped in by Kali Wood. The Squirrels would break the tie 11 minutes later when Mark Tessar scored his 3rd of the year on a great pass from behind the net from Mike Ricci. It would be all the Squirrels would need.

The only scoring in the 3rd period was an insurance marker from the Squirrels’ Bob Valdes with his 2nd of the game. The Brewins never really threatened in the 3rd and time eventually ran out for them. Despite the Brewins pulling their goalie to try to mount a comeback, a couple of attempts from the Squirrels to pot an empty netter were not successful.

Bullets 3, Squirrels 0

Posted on by

Facing a team ahead of them in the standings that they had beaten previously, the Squirrels played a tight game Wednesday, allowing only one goal throughout most of it but lacking the firepower to even put one on the board again.

Complete Game from Squirrels Downs Heineken Light

Posted on by

The Squirrels brought their “A” game to the rink and put forth a total team effort for a very satisfying win against a strong Heineken Light team. Coming into the game, the Squirrels were 4 points back of Heineken Light and in a 2-way tie for 4th place in the Bronze 2 Division. With the win, they now sit in a 2-way tie for 3rd in the Division with next week’s opponent, the Bullets, and only 2 points behind Heineken Light.

The Squirrels held a 2-1 lead after the 1st period on the strength of goals by Rob Myers and Charles Wolstein sandwiched around a goal for Heineken Light by Justin Sybenga. Myers’ goal was his 4th of the season while Wolstein broke his season long goal scoring drought to pot his 1st.

An early 2nd period goal by Brent Machado, his team leading 9th of the season, gave the Squirrels a bit more breathing room before Heineken Light’s leading scorer, Drake Deming, got his team back within 1 with a well placed wrist shot, beating goalie Eric Coulson glove side. Meanwhile, Heineken Light goalie, Jason Brodnax made some keys saves to keep his mates within striking distance.

With the score 3-2 to start the 3rd period, the teams battled back and forth with chances generated in both ends. Machado scored his 2nd of the game and 10th of the season to re-establish the 2 goal cushion for the Squirrels and it would end up being the game winner. Deming was able to bring his team back to within 1 once more with another blistering wrist shot that beat Coulson 5-hole, but the Squirrels defense denied any more quality scoring chances.  Myers scored his 2nd goal into the empty net to seal the win.

Coulson ended the night with 24 saves, assists were credited to “Biker” Bob Valdes (2), Donnie “shoots it wide” Marks, Chi “???” Pham, Jeff “Look ma! No penalties tonight” Bobeck, and Jason Nehmer “Esq.” and Ben “can’t feel his legs” Sumner suffered 2 debilitating calf muscle cramps. A collection will be started to replace his wonky calf muscles with bionic ones.

Next up for the Squirrels is a battle with the Bullets on Wednesday, February 16th, at 10:10PM on the Resor rink.

Full Bench Boosts Squirrels

Posted on by

For the first time in recent memory, the Screaming Squirrels played with three full lines, and the results worked out very well. Hurting for offense throughout most of the season, the Squirrels put up 7 against the Vikings on Monday, before the penalty minutes started piling up for both teams. Jason Nehmer scored twice for the Squirrels while Rob Myers had a goal and two assists.

Awful Third Dooms Squirrels

Posted on by

For two periods Sunday, the Squirrels played tight defensively and held onto a 1-0 lead against Strange Brew. But in the third period, over the course of about a minute and a half, three breakdowns on three consecutive shifts suddenly put the Squirrels in a 3-1 hole, and lackluster play afterward didn’t get them back into the game.
